Coming off spring break and headed back to work or school on Monday? Our forecast may be a bitter cold slap in the face by almost April standards. We’ve got freeze warnings in effect for most of the region as clear skies and cold air seeps in overnight. We’re expecting to see lows in the upper 20s to mid 30s, so you’ll definitely be reaching for your jacket Monday morning. Also makes sure to bring in any sensitive plants you might have outside.

On the plus side, the cold temps are short lived as we very quickly get back to sunshine and warm temperatures for Monday afternoon and into Tuesday with highs ranging from the mid 60s to low 70s (Tuesday being the warmer of the two days).

Wednesday is the day to watch out for this week though as we see our next batch of showers and storms come our way…and it looks like we’ll have enough instability (i.e. lift) to get some stronger to sever e storms fired up. Looks like we’ll have enough energy to get some possible rotating storms as well, so I think it’s safe to say a wide variety of severe threats including damaging winds, hail, and even some isolated tornadoes would potentially be possible. We’ll continue to keep an eye on it and keep you in the loop as we inch closer to that.

In the meantime, enjoy the sunshine and warmer weather for the start of the work week!
